This whitepaper evaluates the distinctions and complementarities between data fabric and data mesh architectures. It explains how data mesh promotes decentralized domain ownership, while data fabric provides a unifying integration, metadata, and governance layer. The paper argues that combining both approaches enables scalable, domain-driven innovation supported by centralized semantic consistency and automated governance. By leveraging logical data management, organizations can avoid duplication, enforce policy across domains, and accelerate analytics and AI initiatives while preserving autonomy and flexibility.
